2024 Bookmark: Lighting the world of truth |
|
|
In his poem Subotiv, Taras Shevchenko wrote that Ukraine will “light the world of truth.” Artist Denys Golden has created this inspiring design to remind us that we, too, can be this light of truth.
Marking our milestone anniversary, we renew our commitment to light the world of truth by sharing the beauty and passion of our culture for all to embrace.
About the Bookmark
It has been a long-standing tradition of the Shevchenko Foundation to celebrate the work of Taras Shevchenko by producing a bookmark featuring a unique artwork based on a pre-selected poem.
Thousands of copies of the annual bookmark are distributed at no cost as educational tools to children across Canada who are enrolled in Ukrainian language programs, Ukrainian dance schools, children and youth ensembles, and youth organizations.
If you'd like to receive a bookmark please e-mail our office admin@shevchenkofoundation.ca. |

His style is structured, yet bold and expressive with influences from his architectural studies. Straight lines appear to be in motion leading us to the heights of our imagination. |

This year we celebrate the enchanting imagery of Taras Shevchenko's "Knyazhna," inviting participants to craft bookmarks that capture the essence of a picturesque Ukrainian village, as vividly portrayed in the poem. |
